The Infor SyteLine Scheduler calculates the dates and times to work on a subset of existing orders - those manufacturing orders that you need to complete in the near future. You can run the schedule over any horizon: a shift, day, week, month, etc. However, you will usually run it for a one-day horizon, and you will usually run it each day.
The Scheduler adjusts operation start and end times, suggests operation sequences, and reports changes in inventory levels. It also generates summary information (such as job performance) you can view in reports and graphs.
The Scheduler processes individual operations for any Released jobs within the defined time horizon based on their routing and setup, run, and move times.
